awakened by whispering in the darkness above
blooming and breezing from out of the trees
weaving doorways from the floorboards
threading ways through unseen cracks

shhhhhhh
the sound of spiders hatching
shhhhhh
one more time to weave and to sing

all the world running wild in undying dreams
in blooms of wax and flesh and leaves of skin

skipping
laughing
leaping

and over the hills
like sour fat, like sour tallow
the scent of a rotten candle

shhhhhhh
one more time to run through fields of wildflowers
one more time to join hands and sing

shhhhhhh
flying
and if you choose it
to never once touch the ground
